This could signal that NSC chief Mike Waltz is also on his way out following his embarrassing ‘Signalgate’ behavior. Waltz is also a major neocon, one of many to serve in Trump’s administrations.<\/h3>\n

President Donald Trump reportedly fired three pro-war neocons on his National Security Council shortly after he met with Laura Loomer in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

The president met Wednesday with Loomer, a conservative investigative journalist. Loomer has publicly accused Trump administration staffers of disloyalty<\/a> and said there have been vetting failures<\/a> at the NSC<\/a> and elsewhere<\/a> through various posts<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/em> reported<\/a> Loomer discussed NSC staffers she said were disloyal and whose loyalties lie firmly in the camp of Washington\u2019s neoconservative war hawks. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz (pictured above with Trump) was reportedly present at the meeting along with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n

Journalist and author Glenn Greenwald posted to X<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWild: Laura Loomer got Trump to fire 3 pro-war members of the National Security Council: Daniel Feith, son of the Bush\/Cheney \u00fcber-neocon Douglas Feith; a long-time top foreign policy advisor to Marco Rubio, and another top adviser to Mike Waltz.\u201d<\/p>\n

Axios reported<\/a> that three senior NSC officials were fired after the Loomer meeting at the White House. The firings came a week after the Signal group chat leak, in which the Atlantic<\/em>\u2019s editor-in-chief was added to a group chat with Waltz and other national security officials by Waltz\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

Loomer began posting about alleged vetting failures after the Signal group chat leak and offered to vet staffers for the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

This is an interesting development, because the biggest neocon warmonger of all is Mike Waltz, the head of Trump\u2019s NSC. Waltz has a long record of voting to fund endless wars overseas during his tenure in Congress.<\/p>\n

What I don\u2019t understand is why Trump would care. He loaded up his first administration with neocons, and he placed several in key positions in his second term, like Marco Rubio and Waltz. He even employed the king of neoconservatism, John Bolton, for a time in his first administration. Suddenly, we are supposed to believe Trump is listening to someone like Laura Loomer and embarking on a purge of neocons from his administration?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard for me to believe Trump did not know that Waltz, Rubio, Feith and the others were neocons. Just a few days ago, Trump gave his enthusiastic endorsement to the most notorious neocon of all, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, in Graham\u2019s 2026 Senate race.<\/p>\n

This story doesn\u2019t add up.<\/p>\n
